That's a good news for many

Bhutan is a high altitude place and training here helps to have higher RBC count even when tiring which then helps in other competitions. So Bhutan should have been having few middle or long distance runners at least but due to poverty they won't be able to do so. In fact India has built their 1st synthetic track and Indian team is training there for Asian games.

India does not have a live stream for the championship when we are sure to have our first track world champion in any category here .

it was because of IOC not giving weightlifting extra quota. It was 8 +7 now it was 7each as given by IOC .So they changed all weights

Neither athletics nor water polo are of any interest in any other continent except Europe. So basically the prediction contests have become Europe only except for some football or hockey it's the 2 Americas we see. It's sad to know that the totalympics forum is only for Europeans or Americans. Not having a poll for sports of interest of other continents not only makes it a 2 continent affair but also forces the others to slowly disappear from the forum....

Hmm your right but still they have a decent team now and a skater would be nice addition though for Bangladesh.

Did get to know So I was excited because she missed the Olympic bronze in Rio 2016 finishing 4th and is the only female Olympic gymnast up-to date from India know for her death vault of Produnova and she is returning after a long long time.

What happened at the 2018 fig mersin world cup . Does anyone have a link to watch it

All those who agree with me reply with a "like" or "haha" or "thanks "

I just predicted the European water polo championships 2018 even though I have never watched a complete water polo match ever. By the way how many of you agree with having a prediction contests for the medal tally of prediction each continental event. Like we could start with Asian games 2018 to see the response and then we could try the Pan American games and European games 2019. Anyhow it would have larger number of participants then European water polo championships 2018

Maybe because Bangladesh has qualified in a team sport already.

If 1 individual qualifies each in men and women then can they have a mixed team?

But IOA initially disqualified many sports from Asian games citing poor Olympic chances but now they could give a nod to equestrian after lots of drama.

Nothing lot to disagree because even the government is not expecting a lot besides a few medals in bronzes or silver in some due to luck in martial arts. Athletics is quite good. My prediction could be Athletics : 5 golds Shooting : 3 golds Boxing : 1gold Archery: 1 gold Weightlifting : 1 gold Hockey :1 gold Squash :1 gold Wrestling : 1gold Kabaddi : 2 gold Gymnastic : 1 gold if Olympic performance is repeated Tennis /Badminton : at least 1 of them will win gold Sepaktakraw - not sure but due to lack of strong teams in men's regu a medal possible Around 16-18 golds Many others may just win medals due to less competitors but not golds

I do agree with some nonsense cutting of events .Not having 3 boxing categories is bad. Indonesia did get a medal in team compound at world cup once so it's there. Else it would also be cancelled. India has a gold in men's individual compound from last time so it's lost now .Those martial arts are all wierd I don't like any of them .What should be your top 10 countries in medal tally and why not Iran 4th or 5th ?

As an Iranian what do you predict about the medals and tally at the Asian games 2018

Oh that's surprising. 2012 Olympic silver medallist don't have their sport in their country.

Is handball there at the games??

Sometimes the bigger websites make the bigger mistakes like the FIFA for example. Portugal has qualified in futsal in both men and women and Croatia are months into their preparation for beach handball in youth Olympics I suppose since it was so clear

https://www.buenosaires2018.com/en/news/futsal-south-america-search-quota-place-buenos-aires-2018

Thanks for the link. Anyhow the athletes who will represent India are almost sure still bcoz the federation will send the top athletes and by ranking it will be Srihari Natraj and Advait Page . Anyhow let's wait for official confirmation. But I still don't agree with FIFA for futsal. There are many links which show Portugal qualified in men's. Take the top one. See the Buenos Aires main website in news part and after searching a lot you'll get it I hope the qualified teams

Where is the information about more than 2 athletes. I know 2 at the moment

https://www.google.co.in/amp/www.newindianexpress.com/sport/other/2018/mar/26/swimmer-srihari-nataraj-is-aiming-to-create-ripples-in-bigger-pool-1792547.amp?espv=1 This shows the qualifications of a swimmer in Indian squad. pls add it. I'll send other links soon.
